Tükenir sevdiklerin Tükenir beklediklerin Bir sen kalırsın Bir de yalnızlık #murathanmungan #02072019 #yalnızlık (Caribou Coffee Türkiye) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbEJoUppou/?igshid=14scsci2gzk4q
An artist I follow on instagram recently posted in their stories about a famous musician who ripped off their artwork for an album cover. They posted the two images side by side. On the left, the artist's work from 2015. On the right, the musician's album cover from 2019. The resemblance is undeniable.
Before visiting Lisbon, a significant number of my friends mentioned how beautiful the city is. How I'm going to love it. How, in their words, "it's my vibe". I spent four days in Lisbon, and I liked it. It felt, to me, like a cross between Barcelona and Athens.
"But I'll take either of those cities over Lisbon," I told one of my Lisbon advocate friends.
It's not really like Barcelona or Athens, my friend protested. Plus, she insisted, I need more than four days to properly fall in love with Lisbon.
"It's not love at first sight."
I don't disagree with any of that. I don't think you can know any city -- or any person -- in four days. No matter how much you try to cramp into those four days.
Lisbon reminds me of Barcelona and Athens because my frame of reference is European cities. And Barcelona and Athens constitute a significant percentage of my European cities vocabulary. Maybe Lisbon is closer to Seville than Barcelona -- more Palermo than Athens -- but I've never been to either Seville or Palermo, so I wouldn't know.
I don't know if the artist who designed Stormzy's Crown cover intentionally ripped off David's photo, but it makes sense why David would think so. For one, there's the undeniable resemblance. And then there's David's frame of reference, which includes -- among other things -- his image from 2015, but not, I assume, the references of whoever made the cover.
I think what's more likely is that they were both inspired by similar things. They both had similar influences, and at the end of the day, they created similar things. Originality, after all, is a myth. No one creates anything from scratch. As Cal Sagan so eloquently put it:
“If you wish to make apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe"
Or maybe David knows something about the artist who made the cover that I don’t.
I can’t help but picture my ass in a farm listening to this song lol It’s the strings at the beginning of the song. Have you watched Easter Parade? A cute film
